NEW ORLEANS — On Sunday June 24, 1973, dozens of patrons had gathered at
the Up Stairs Lounge, a gay bar in New Orleans when an arsonist set
fire to the building. Within minutes, the flames engulfed the bar,
killing 32 patrons. Now author Robert W. Fieseler has come out with a
new book "Tinderbox: The Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and
the Rise of Gay Liberation," that details the fire and its aftermath.
